Carrie Anne’s end-of-year edition of Geek Gurl Diaries had some news in it that might interest you.

The whole of the video (especially the book competition) is likely to be something you’ll find interesting – but the REALLY interesting bit is the announcement that Carrie Anne makes at around the 3:49 mark.

Congrats Carrie-Anne. We came to your Sonic Pi session at Bletchley Park in the summer and went away very enthused. We’ve been slowly working through Adventures in Pi over Christmas and I commend you on how each chapter builds on the previous one. Well done.

PS Do you speak French Carrie-Anne?
PPS got Adventures in Pi (&User Guide) too this week – superb! The Turtle section caused an immediate *flashback* to my primary school classroom nearly 20 years ago! Thanks & wishing you further wonderful work in your new job.

Congratulations! From having met you a few times at London Raspberry Jams (we really need to start them again… if nobody else does then I will once I finish the whole A-Level shindig xD) it sounds like the UK needs more teachers like you – hopefully you’ll be able to do amazing stuff educating teachers with the Foundation!

Congrats Carrie Anne, on entering the Russian Resident Relocation Program, or whatever CCCP translates into these days! We call it the Witless Protection Program here in the Land of Largesse :D

As a STEM educator, software engineer, former Naval Officer (aka Belly Button Lint Expert), airplane and helicopter pilot, nuclear engineer, ocean engineer, intelligence officer, and volunteer museum senior docent, aquarium animal caretaker, and visitor guide, I salute your shift to the next phase in your career. Don’t worry, it gets easier after the first dislocation (which feels about as good as a dislocated limb, as you now know).

We’re very much looking forward to your future contributions to the Original Flavor reason for the development of the Pi in the first place – education! If you ever make your way here to Silicon Valley, an all-expenses-paid tour (travel to/from NOT included) of the Computer History Museum down the street from Google, Microsoft, etc., awaits at your beck and call (Eben can attest as to whether it’s worth your time – I’m one of the handful of people on the planet allowed to operate our twin of the Babbage Difference Engine in the Science Museum in London). Arriving on the third Saturday afternoon of a month also gets you free admission to our Best Coast version of Raspberry Jams.
